Chapter 834: Our Lady

Not long after the two figures disappeared, Ning Yuan strode in. It was obvious that he had been paying attention to the situation here.

"Why did Tang Bai come to you in private and disguise himself so well?" he asked immediately after entering the room.

"He wanted to bring a team of 30 people to our new base and offered 50,000 kilograms of original seeds as a reward. I agreed and asked Xu Sa and Gu Qingji to test the survival rate of the seeds." Lu Weiyi said while his hands kept moving. He repeated what he said to Zhuang Mingxu in another space and asked for his advice.

Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, "He is very secretive. I've heard that the Pingjin base is in food crisis, but I didn't expect that he had hidden such a large amount in private."

"You still have to pay attention. Ask someone to find out the current situation of the Pingjin base, and also keep an eye on their subsequent departure."

As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, Zhuang Mingxu gave a similar response, just as Xu Sa had said, asking them to be careful not to let the base become a shelter for criminals.

"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye out," Ning Yuan said as he sat aside and talked about the situation he encountered when he went to the Ruthless Team. "We have always been the ones threatening others, but it's been so many years, and no one has ever threatened us so openly."

"That's all! You want me to send those people away for nothing?" Ning Yuan looked like he had suffered a great loss.

"Then what do you want to do?" Lu Weiyi was calm and conveyed the situation he had said to Zhuang Mingxu again, without even thinking about what he said.

"Let them bleed a little," Ning Yuan said viciously, "Looking at the current situation, after we leave, the bases here will most likely be headed by the Mengbei base. Since they are so rich..."

Ning Yuan gritted his teeth, "They have been bullied to the point of being bullied. If we just give them away for nothing, they will think we are easy to bully."

"Okay, you decide." Lu Weiyi saw that Zhuang Mingxu had agreed with Ning Yuan's words, and even sent over the list of needed supplies, then handed it to Ning Yuan, "Follow this list."

"Also, we can't ask the healers to go out because their levels cannot be raised. We have no choice but to not go out. If you want treatment, you can come to our house individually. The base will take 40% of the price and exchange it for corresponding supplies."

Ning Yuan looked at the empty space on the list and couldn't help but chuckle. He couldn't even bear to look at the cunning Lu Weiyi.

"By the way, let Mingxu investigate the researcher's situation again. I have just asked Pangqiu and several other researchers who followed me in detail. They all said the same thing. They did hear the news. Pangqiu heard that they could return to their original base, and the people below knew that they could bring their relatives over."

"Is there any difference?" Lu Weiyi couldn't think of the possible purpose for a moment.

Ning Yuan also shook his head, "I don't know if Mingxu's idea was leaked. If they were prepared, I'm afraid these people would remember what they have come into contact with and leak it out."

"We want them to do everything they can to help those who remain alive as long as possible, but that doesn't mean we want them to empty our pockets."

"As for planning on having family members go, who can guarantee that there won't be people with ulterior motives among them? Now that the investigation system has collapsed, it's not so easy to check personal relationships. It's better to be careful."

"Especially at the last moment, who knows if something unexpected will pop up from nowhere."

Perhaps because he had suffered a loss at the hands of these people, Ning Yuan was extra vigilant this time. He was even worried that Lu Weiyi was not serious enough, so he wrote a letter to Zhuang Mingxu himself, using a large and bold red exclamation mark to express the importance of the matter in his heart.

The two of them re-determined the time for the drug trial. Ning Yuan was just about to ask the two healing psychics who had the time and how much they would charge when he saw Antonio striding in from outside the door.

"I was just about to look for you guys..." Ning Yuan said, and looked behind him. He didn't see the conjoined twins, and was a little surprised, "Where's your follower?"

"What the hell?" Antonio rolled his eyes at him very skillfully, although it looked particularly awkward with his big body. "Dean is with Xu Yi, and Liu Rui is guarding them. What do you want from him?"

"The captain of the Ruthless Team wants to ask our healing department to repair his arm. I'll go ask them who will do it and what's the price?"

Antonio said rarely, "Let Dean do it, the price should be very..." He raised his eyebrows suggestively at Ning Yuan.

"It's okay, right? Why are you short of money? Are you willing to let Dean come out to make money?"

Antonio choked up and didn't answer. He looked at Lu Weiyi and asked, "When is the latest time for us to leave?"

"About a week."

Antonio frowned, "Will you come back in the future?"

"Not sure, let's see the situation." Lu Weiyi looked at him, "Why are you asking this?"

After all, this is not a person who is willing to worry. He refuses to take the initiative to do anything that is not assigned to him, which shows how lazy he is.

Antonio showed a slightly awkward expression, which disappeared in an instant. Then he asked calmly as if nothing had happened, "Can I know what our base predicts about the natural conditions in the next few years?"

Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, but Ning Yuan thought about it and immediately understood. He simply told him the news that was about to be predicted but not yet announced, "This is just a weather forecast. As for other natural disasters that may be caused, without data support, no one can guarantee what will happen."

Antonio frowned, and after a moment he changed the subject and asked Lu Weiyi, "Do the internal team members have zombie energy release potions?"

"You want?".

"I bought three," Antonio raised his head slightly, with a very proud look, "It's Dean's reward this time."

Ning Yuan couldn't help but take a sip of this "I'm proud of being a gigolo" look. Lu Weiyi looked at him leisurely for a long time, and finally announced, "At this price, you may not even be able to buy one."

"Do you want to buy it with crystal cores? I'll ask the finance department to check your family's accounts to see how much loan you two still have to pay back?"

"..." Antonio immediately put away his pride and said, "Captain, can I get an advance of three and use my own share first?"

"Advance payment, although it's a bit difficult..."

"Dean said he lost the card game and asked me to help him review the game."

"..."Lu Weiyi.

He coughed lightly, as if he didn't notice what Antonio said, and said nonchalantly, "It's not impossible, I'll have someone send it to you later."

"Don't wait any longer, give it to me now." Antonio's urging words reduced Lu Weiyi's desire to play around. He looked at Antonio seriously, "What are you going to do?"

"..." Antonio put his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant, "It's nothing, I'll go see Eric, if he's willing to beg me, I might be able to reluctantly give him one."

"..."Lu Weiyi.

Thinking about how the hunting team they formed helped Yuebanwan deal with many things that were difficult to deal with, Lu Weiyi was rarely nice to talk to, "If he is willing, you can invite them to go there together."

After all, their base received the news faster than others, and as a foreigner, it would be difficult for him to get help from his compatriots at home if he encountered danger in this kind of world.

Antonio rarely lowered his eyes and shook his head, saying with certainty, "I can't take them all away. He won't abandon his men and leave."

Lu Weiyi didn't have much to say, so he took out a pump tank box from the space and handed it to him, "Go ask the researcher for the specific usage."

Thinking of the psychic department whose supernatural power is also very good, Lu Weiyi thought for a while and said, "Before leaving, I will hold a meeting with the heads of each base and roughly explain the possible situations that may be encountered when upgrading the SSS. If he is interested, he can come with me."

Even though Antonio acted as if he didn't care, his eyes lit up for a moment and said, "I'll tell him, it's his own business whether he comes or not."

He walked out with the box, not forgetting to remind Lu Weiyi to protect Dean's safety in the next few days.

When Ning Yuan heard that he was going to tell others the secret of upgrading, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

This kind of intrigue was completely different from the surrounding bases. It was selfless and made him feel a little saintly. However, as a beneficiary, he also felt that he was a little ungrateful for thinking this way, which made his expression conflicted for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi asked.

"You were in a coma for half a year before you succeeded in upgrading. Do you really want to tell them?" Ning Yuan finally asked.

"The relationship between my coma and the upgrade...is not very big. It should be my own fault." Lu Weiyi explained, probably understanding his unspoken meaning. "It's just a casual remark. Isn't it great if it can save a life? Especially since we already know how difficult it is to get to this point. Why make unnecessary sacrifices?"

Ning Yuan recalled a time several years ago when they were being plotted against at the Kyoto base. He could have killed Zheng Yi directly, but he chose a more complicated plan. He said at the time, "Zheng Yi should not die at this time. Our enemies have never been each other."

A few years passed, and the people around him were dazzled by the ever-changing world and the power within their reach, but he still maintained the same attitude as before.

Ning Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he smiled and shook his head, "I will notify all the bases as much as possible."

Dean did offer a shocking price for treatment. However, Wen Jing, who received the news that he could go to the island for treatment, did not negotiate on supplies. He only expressed his hope to bring one more person to take care of Wen Yan's daily life. In order to avoid suspicion, the person he sent over was the healing psychic who had fled with them before.

Middle-aged women, not very powerful, not very aggressive, just the expression "they don't have any extra thoughts" written on their faces.

The other party had helped the team with treatment several times for free along the way. Although everyone was helping each other at the time, Ning Yuan didn't feel comfortable refusing since he was doing him a favor.

That afternoon, Wen Yan brought the supplies to the island in Yueban Bay. This time, Wen Xing's attitude was obviously much better. Ning Yuan was waiting for him to say something harsh, but he said nothing. Wen Jing only said "please take good care of him."

"It's my duty." Ning Yuan took the two of them into the island and went straight to where Dean was.
